Great doorbell camera with adjustment

Great doorbell camera with adjustment. As a fan of the amcrest internal camera I had to try this new device. Installation is quite simple, but requires additional information in the instructions. 1. The horn kit needs information on what it is intended to do when connected to an existing horn. I couldn't figure out why my existing doorbell wasn't working, but the amcrest doorbell works fine. To find out, I had to select the "No Horn" option instead of selecting "Mechanical Horn" or "Digital Horn". What pain in A.! I had to look for errors and measure the voltage. Amcrest needs to update this information for the existing audio signal. 2. It is necessary to explain the function of the application to select the motion detection area. That seems illogical. Does red zone coverage mean no motion detection or motion detection? what he 3. Using amcrest view pro works great with the doorbell camera but completely kills the live view in the smart home app. I had to completely reset the doorbell to get the live view working again in the smart home app. I recommend not using amcrest view pro until amcrest fixes this error. Despite the issues you may encounter, this doorbell works great and is better than the doorbell I researched. One reviewer mentioned that this doorbell doesn't give an audible notification, that's incorrect. Your phone can be used as a call. You'll get a notification on your phone, both visual and audible, when the doorbell is pressed, and you'll have the option to accept or decline the ringtone. In addition, the motion detection will give you a notification on your phone and will also be heard by one of the four types of doorbells you choose in the app. However, make sure your phone's notification volume is turned on and not vibrating or turned off. A smart feature if you don't hear the ringtone in your house. Image sharpness is great, but I wish the default live view was set to HD instead of SD like the internal camera. I like the ability to use a micro SD card (the ringer doesn't have one) instead of cloud storage with a monthly bill after 1 year. Make sure you format the SD card to FAT32 on your laptop first, otherwise the app won't recognize it. This is not explained in the instructions but does show up in amcrest technical support questions. Overall, I like the functionality of this doorbell cam, but the instructions and app functionality need improvement. Come on Amcrest! you can do better
